Unheard Jeff Buckley Album To Be Released | Music News

The legend of Jeff Buckley is comparable to no man or woman in this industry. Gaining a reputation as one of the greatest singers the world had to offer, he had everyone willingly in the palm of his hand as they listened in awe. He was an idol, a role model, an icon but most importantly, one hell of a talent. This all came to an abrupt end due to his tragic accident which snatched him from us far too soon. He had it all!

Before writing his own material Buckley managed to achieve a massive fanbase in the early 1990s by playing cover songs at venues in Manhattan’s East Village. By some luck, many of these songs were recorded and have since been put together in 10-track album, due for release next March. The LP cover album will be titled You And I, and will include classic covers, including: Bob Dylan’s “Just Like a Woman” and the Smiths’ “The Boy With The Thorn In His Side”, as well as a few of his original tracks such as “Grace”. Look below to see the full track listing:

A recent graduate with a BA in History. However, my passion lies in spreading the good word of music. Now I am all about the future, not what has happened in the past. From indie to electronic to chillwave to rap to folk, I love to write about all the up-and-coming gems of music as well as the legendary bands which have developed my love for music. Although it makes putting my music library on shuffle quite an undesirable experience. Feel free to follow me on twitter for more music related posts.
